We took an early train from Venice on Saturday to arrive in Rome. By the time we got checked in and finished some lunch, we figured that we would only have time to see the outside of some of the big sights since we didn't have advance tickets, and set off.
On the way to the Pantheon, we saw the Colosseum down the street band headed that direction. Once we got that far, we noticed that the line was short and decided to go in!
The inside of the Colosseum is interesting to see, and it has a reasonable amount of information displayed inside. I'm glad I went in, but what made the ticket price worth it was the included admission to the Roman Forums/Palatine Hill archeological site. There were so many things to look at! We unfortunately didn't know a lot about any of them, but still enjoyed it.
After finally being chased out of the archeological site as they closed, we decided to call it an early night and went back to our hotel's bar at the roof, which had been highly recommended in reviews. The reviews were right - the view of Rome at sunset was amazing!
